3DARRAY

[MKV]

Hi
I have been using AutoCAD 2000 for designing. I have written lisp files to generate 3D objects. I have the following problem:

I need to use 3DARRAY command. This is a lisp file. (3DARRAY.lsp). At AutoCAD console, this command works fine.
But in lisp file when I use this command (command "3DARRAY" .....), I get an error message "3DARRAY command unknown". I tried loading this lisp file explicitly by writing (load "3DARRAY&quot but without any success.

This file is in search path (c:\AutoCAD 2000\Support).

Could any one help me?

Thanking you
Vijayendra

Try to do it like this:

(C:3darray .........)

Just a slight point if you are unfamiliar. Make sure your LISP routine is written like (defun C:3DARRAY...). Estassoc is correct. This tells AutoCAD that the LISP is defining a new command.

3Darray is an autocad command.

To use it in lisp you need to add an underscore at the front of it like this command "_3DARRAY"

Hi
Thanks to Estassoc, Borgunit, Blueprint for the tips. I tried all of them without any success:

In lisp console:
(command "C:3DARRAY", ....options)
(command "_3DARRAY", ....options)
(command "3DARRAY", ....options)

Instead if I type in lisp console : (C:3DARRAY)
It recognizes the command but asks for options at AutoCAD console. I tried to pass on the options this way:
(C:3DARRAY (ssget get_the_object) .......). I get an error
message: "too many parameters"

My intention is to give all the options in my lisp file. So that I don't have to do anything at AucoCAD console.

Thanks once again for the tips

Hi,
I am sorry, I did not realize 3darray was an ACAD command (shows you how much I use it). You may try using a vlisp call to get your call i.e.

(vl-load-com)
(vl-cmdf "3darray" (ssget.....))
